About Blue Sky
Blue Sky is a Chinese takeaway at 6 Blackfriars in Rushden, open in the evenings only. The kitchen cooks Chinese dishes, with fried rice, including egg fried rice, on the menu next to sweet and sour sauce. Beef curry and chicken curry cover the curry side of the menu. The week runs from Tuesday to Sunday, and the takeaway is closed on Mondays, so Blue Sky suits an evening meal planned for any other day.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers are split, and curry is the most frequently praised dish. One customer of about forty years returns for beef curry with egg fried rice, and another calls the chicken curry decent. A mushroom omelette also gets a mention from a regular's wife. Close behind are good value, generous portions and smiley staff, and one reviewer says large orders come with extra food as a thank you. The complaints are more numerous and specific. Several describe the sweet and sour sauce as dark, tasteless or like tomato soup, and the chicken balls as greasy. The spring rolls and pancake tasted of old oil to one diner, and another reports cold aromatic duck that was mostly fat. Others cite bland meals, burnt crispy noodles, undercooked fried rice, awful chips, and smaller containers with little meat. One order came out wrong after being confirmed three times, and one diner returned inedible food for a refund.

“This experienced lately has been a very disappointment due to the fact they did the order wrong. Told them three times. Didn't get it right. Got home. It was the wrong order. Waste of money waste of time but I am sorry I have to be honest”

“I have used the place for about forty years for my beef curry with egg fried rice and even when I moved from Rushden from 2011 til 2024 to Kettering I still came here as nothing compared in Kettering and since I moved back this way I'm glad to still used them and my wife likes the mushroom omelette so happy days”

“We've used these for 20 years and recall their chips were like roast potatoes back in the day. Today the chicken curry is decent and the chips are awful but service is consistent..... Very good but could be brilliant”
